Chocolate Stout Cupcakes

Every time I order a pint of stout (like Guinness) at a bar, I recall, as if for the first time, how creamy and chocolaty it tastes and how delicious it is, which is why it’s a natural fit for this easy, adults-only dessert.

Cheddar-Beer Fondue

Cheddar-Beer Fondue

Cheddar and beer make a gorgeous couple. Fondues and spreads show off their compatibility. The Cheddar-Beer Fondue (pictured) is the perfect dipping sauce for potatoes, apples, and sausage. For something even more special, try Potted Cheddar Beer Spread, which borrows flavors from the famous Welsh Rarebit dish.
